Summary: There are copies if you look hard enough
Review: While unpacking some boxes I came across a couple copies of this very funny movie and was reminded that in '83 when I first rented it I saw it sitting on the "odd shelf" next to the Attack Of The Killer Tomato, which I also checked out then bought copies of. Eating Raoul is just that, if you can use your imagination. A fun couple down on their luck and a kitchen that may put them back in the black.

If you like movies that are a tad odd, and test the limits and deal woth topics that many think about but wont admit to, then this is a fun movie. It is in the genre of Monty Python, and Lust In The Dust. And if you check around at some of the smaller video outlets and thankfully some Blockbusters and eBay you can find copies. If you can find a copy...do grab one and FAST

Summary: L.A. Delicatessen
Review: A couple lacking money for the dream of their life. The husband who got kicked from the job for being too good a specialist. The wife who wasn't able to get a loan because of her devotion to her husband. A frying pan as a murderous weapon and dirty swingers full of money as victims: a perfect solution for the problem. But here comes Raoul and... To tell anything else will be a spoiler for one of the funniest black comedies ever made. You will laugh when you see this movie for the first time, for the second and so on ...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: bring it back !
Review: Please, what can we do to bring back this ... excuse me ... classic back. No forget the excuse me. This is a very funny movie. No it is not for all tastes (see "Matinee" with John Goodman for my soliloquy) but this movie must be set free. cheers -rod

Summary: Bring this movie back!
Review: How can a movie to be so deadpan and so outrageous, sogood-natured and yet so bizarre? Borrow or steal EATING RAOUL to findout. A masterpiece of low-budget camp. You should also check out Paul Bartel's other movies like DEATH RACE 2000 and SCENES FROM THE CLASS STRUGGLE IN BEVERLY HILLS.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Wickedly funny!
Review: Hilarious black comedy / cult classic about a nerdy couple, The Blands, living in L.A. and trying to cope with their "swinger" neighbors. When Paul accidently kills one of the sleazebags, the couple realize they'd be doing society and themselves a favor by offing the creeps, robbing them, and investing in their dream restaurant. A total hoot! The hot tub scene is priceless! Definitely worth a watch!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Laughed until my side hurt!
Review: This movie was simply FUNNY. It didn't require me to think. I didn't have to "take sides". I was simply entertained! A good story line; fair to good acting; a little nudity; some original ideas for raising money (kids should be required to watch this movie); a surprise ending; there were no gory details; and no one got hurt, except for a couple of "perverts". It made me proud to be an American!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love showing this to others
Review: I first saw this at the Seattle Film Festival. It was made on a $10,000 budget. It is my all-time favorite movie. And, if you watch TV you will probably recognice "Raoul" on StarTrek Voyager.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Paul and Mary Masterpiece
Review: One of my favorite movies of all time...very, very funny...if you get a chance to see it...don't hesatate.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Unmissable
Review: I adore this film. Black comedies are always enjoyable, and this film takes every opportunity possible to offend it's audience. Not for the faint-hearted, but if you have a healthy sense of humour then you should enjoy it! Piece of advice though...make sure the kids don't get their hands on it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A bizarre movie definitely for the 80's
Review: I love black comedies and this one take the cake! I have seen this movie about 3 or 4 times and could see it again! Not for the prudish!!!
